just bought a Polar FT4,now what???
So, went out on a whim and bought it. wasn't sure whether to get fitbit or Polar, but went for this anyway...

When I ran today I did 1:30 running, 0:45 walking slow But then I thought, no I should be running over double, so tried 1:30 running to…

minute I start dieting I am hungrier than before :-(
So, I rejoined this website after being off for a very long while. My plan was to start keeping a record of what I eat, however much it is and then in the New Year, start restricting etc. That way I would already be slightly in the habit of keeping track of what I eat. This morning I ate a normal breakfast, nothing big or…
